Netanyahu urges Trump daily to continue Iran strikes as US weighs ending war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been calling US President Donald Trump daily to urge resumption of strikes on Iran, as Trump considers ending the ongoing war, according to a Financial Times report. The calls come as the US continues occasional strikes, including on Iran's Qeshm Island on November 3 and 6, while Arab leaders push for diplomacy. Trump confirmed the attacks, describing them as minor but effective, and said fresh strikes are "unlikely" as Iran is "militarily effectively over." Netanyahu's push follows Republican losses in US midterm elections, partly attributed to the war, and a stalemate in Israeli elections. Trump met Qatar's PM on a draft proposal to end the conflict, with White House officials describing recent US-Israel talks as "frank."
